What I found web searching the issue.


String Functions - Online String Manipulation Tools
Encoding Problem Table

What happens if you encode a character with one encoding and then try to
decode with another? This is often the case when you have a mix of operating
systems and/or internationalization requirements. Also, this tend to be a
problem with web frameworks where the code page can be set in the http header
or in the http head section. Selecting the wrong encoding (code page) may
display some characters correctly but others will be scrambled. The first 256
characters in a mixed selection of encodings are displayed below. Encoding a
text with Unicode (UTF-8) and decoding with US-ASCII will sometimes produce
strange characters. Characters may display as a box denoting binary data,
another character or even several other characters.
